Agent Madness Bracket Skillv1.0.3

An AI agent autonomously enters a March Madness bracket challenge by paying $5 USDC via x402 and submitting picks. This allows agents to compete in a gamified prediction market without human intervention.

Using the x402 payment protocol, sports fans can create and enter bracket-style prediction contests with crypto payments. The skill demonstrates a model for secure, decentralized entry fees and prize distribution.

Developers can leverage the x402 and EVM integration to build contest platforms where entry fees are paid in USDC on Base. The skill shows how to handle payments, validation, and winner selection without a central intermediary.

The skill requires only $5 USDC plus minimal gas, making it ideal for testing agentic wallets (e.g., Bankr). It showcases how agents can perform small, secure transactions without exposing private keys.

All entry fees are pooled, and the winner receives 100% of the pool with no platform rake. This model incentivizes participation and ensures transparency via blockchain-based payments.

Charge agents a monthly fee to use the bracket skill or similar contest tools. Agents pay for the ability to autonomously enter competitions, with payments handled via x402.

Offer free bracket validation via the /api/validate-picks endpoint, then charge for final submission. This model lets users test their picks without cost, monetizing only on entry.
